"They get free mobiles...don't they?" This multimedia documentary theatre production from Birmingham-based Banner Theatre sets out to bust some of the myths about refugees and asylum seekers. Combining music, song, video, film and theatre, it speaks for asylum seekers in their quest for safety and security after fleeing war-torn lands in Africa and the Middle East. It tells the human stories of people in the wrong place at the wrong time, and cuts through the myths and prejudice surrounding the search for sanctuary in England’s green but sometimes not so pleasant land.
